Question
My daughter is 4 years old, and she just started saying that it hurts when she swallows, and I noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Moreover, she now has a persistent high fever. Please ask: How should a child’s tonsillitis and sore throat be treated?
Answer
Firstly, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medications to treat pediatric tonsillitis. They can also complement this with regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections. If the child has severe throat pain, some painkillers can be administered as needed. If the child still has a fever, it is advisable to take fever-reducing measures. If the fever exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is required. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as soon as possible. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep habits for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
